I don't have any information to share as we don't post information in terms of our product road map or potential new features, supported OS or outputs until those items are slated for release. You are welcome to share your thoughts in the form of a feature request.
Great to hear! I don't have a specific use for it yet - had just heard it was the next 'big thing' so I thought I would check. I'm not sure how reliable that information was as I don't see much online about CMI5.
@ashley - interoperability of xAPI content between LMS environments and across elearning development tools. With xAPI, we have everyone speaking the same language, but every vendor is talking over the other. cmi5 establishes some etiquette in how everyone should be communicating.
Thanks for checking in! We haven't yet added support for CMI-5, but our team continues to track requests sent through our feature request form and posted here in the E-Learning Heroes Community.
We'll let you know if there are any changes in this setup!
I added a feature request for CMI 5 in Storyline 3 and I suggest others do as well. Running into suspend_data issues with SCORM 1.2 and our clients are not willing to use other SCORM formats so we want to push our clients to work with LMSs with CMI 5. Having Storyline 3 with CMI 5 is critical. Discussion going on 3 years now.
At this point if you are not actively working on adding cmi-5 to your product, you're quickly going to lose relevance in the e-learning space. Articulate please keep pace with the industry on this!
We ran into suspend_data issues a while back also. We ended up publishing all new courses to SCORM 2004 4th Edition, which solved the problems. However, now that we've been looking at some new LMS vendors like SumTotal and Cornerstone, we're finding they only support SCORM 2004 3rd Edition.
The 3rd Edition should still solve the suspend_data issues, and seems to be supported on most LMS vendors, but sounds like your clients don't even want to go there. Just thought it might help to give a heads up in case they change their mind.
I was also amazed how the LMS vendors we looked at provide only limited support for xAPI published courses. One allows uploading xAPI courses, but not access to the embedded LRS from an external activity provider. The other has an embedded LRS, but only allows external activity providers to send statements - with no upload of xAPI courses directly to their LMS.
In both cases, they tout that they either support CMI5 now or will in the near future. It's like they skipped right over xAPI and went to CMI5. Of course the course development platforms that support CMI5 is a pretty short list so far.
Thanks for checking in! I don't have any updates to share on the ability to export to CMI5 from Rise. Once we have an update to share, we'll report back to this discussion.
Okay, so does that mean it's not even on the roadmap yet? That will be helpful to know, because if it's not even on the roadmap yet, I'll explore the other alternatives.
I totally agree with Dean. The market is slowly moving from SCORM to xAPI and the Articulate xAPI export (TinCan) is no longer relevant. Articulate products are wonderfull. But please, don't stay behind. Adopt CMI5 like some competitors do.
Great news! We just released another update for Storyline 360 and included a few important fixes and a new feature that you'll see in the release notes here.
The item you'll be interested in is how you can now publish your courses to cmi5! To learn how, take a look at the article below:

Hi Ludovic,

This is an old post. Can you provide an update? Is this slated yet for release?
Hi Robin,
No update yet - but I'd love to know more about what LMS you're using and how you'd like to use the CMI-5 output?
Any LMS using SCORM engine, SCORM cloud, or SCORM driver (there are quite a few) support cmi5. http://tincanapi.com/cmi5-ready-go-scorm-cloud/
Lectora demoed cmi5 support at FocusOn this week. They plan on releasing this fall.
Great to hear! I don't have a specific use for it yet - had just heard it was the next 'big thing' so I thought I would check. I'm not sure how reliable that information was as I don't see much online about CMI5.
Thanks David for that link! How are you looking to use cmi5?
@ashley - interoperability of xAPI content between LMS environments and across elearning development tools. With xAPI, we have everyone speaking the same language, but every vendor is talking over the other. cmi5 establishes some etiquette in how everyone should be communicating.
That's a great way to explain it. Thanks David.
As a LMS/LRS developer company, we will add the support of CMI5. Our clients ask for more online LMS/LRS integration.
I think this request will become more frequent as many LMS vendors use the same provider (Rustici) for their xAPI technology and it now supports cmi5.
I wrote a blog post explaining the value of cmi5 to our healthcare continuing education here. Would be great to see it in StoryLine support it soon.
Can Articulate provide an update on this question and the status of cmi5?

Hi,
Is there any news with support for CMI-5?
thanks,
Dom
Hi Domnick, nothing new yet! If we do add this support in the future, we'll let you know right here in this discussion.

Any updates available?
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for checking in! No new updates to share at the moment. As soon as we have more information to share, we will be sure to update this thread!
Just checking to see if there are any updates and plans to add ability to export to CMI5 from Rise.
